3 Introduction What is ECCE Mundus? ECCE Mundus stands for Enhancing Cross-regional Cooperation with Erasmus Mundus. It is a joint initiative launched by three Erasmus Mundus National Structures: Austria - Austrian Agency for International Cooperation in Education & Research (OeAD-GmbH) Hungary Tempus Public Foundation (TPF) Slovakia Slovak Academic Association for International Cooperation (SAAIC). The project is funded by the Erasmus Mundus programme. What are the objectives? The basic idea of ECCE Mundus is to enhance and facilitate co-operation in Erasmus Mundus between higher education institutions in Central European EU countries, and Central Europe and other regions outside EU (Western Balkans, Eastern Europe, Central Asia) by organising three joint training and contact seminars for universities from these regions. The training and contact seminars in Budapest, Vienna and Bratislava will provide excellent opportunities for HEIs to gain detailed knowledge on developing, managing joint programmes, institutional cooperation and mobility. The project also aims to increase visibility of the programme in these regions among higher education institutions and students.

4 Who is involved in this seminar? The ECCE Mundus seminar in Budapest is targeting higher education institutions active in the field of hard sciences. The geographical coverage is broad - there are representatives of 8 different countries participating in the seminar: Belarus, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. Their contact details and a short description of their project ideas are collected in this compendium. Please, feel free to use this compendium as a supporting tool for making the most of the networking opportunities during the seminar.

The content of the courses and teaching methodologies in the area of computing at EU partner countries universities do not achieve the level offered at EU universities that causes problems not only with mutual recognition of studies and international university cooperation, but also with the employability of the graduates. The jointly developed curricula and courses will reflect both the latest know-how in the computing theory as well as the real needs of the industry in the area of computing. Objectives: - To improve teachers qualifications and skills in the area of computing; - To develop/improve modern master courses in the area of computing; - To develop modern teaching materials for the developed courses; - To implement modern teaching methods in the developed study courses; - To use ECTS in the developed courses and to develop/implement mechanisms for mutual recognition of the studies. Main activities: 1. Staff training (study visits, seminars, and educational courses). 2. Improving/Developing curricula and courses on computing (practical-oriented): scientific computing, numerical analysis and optimization, mathematical modelling and simulation, statistical modelling, statistical computing. 3. Development and publishing of teaching materials, methodological materials. 4. Students participated in developed courses; short mobility courses for students in partner countries organized. 5. Establishment of technical infrastructure (equipment, soft and hard ware) for the implementation of joint programmes. Partners: Project partners will be represented by HEI from Austria, Eastern Partnership countries; Universities from Hungary and Slovakia are welcomed to the partnership, both classical and technical universities. «Classical universities usually cover natural sciences, physical sciences, social sciences, languages, law, etc., but they usually do not cover the areas of engineering. The areas of engineering are covered by technical universities. In our project consortium, each partner country is represented by both classical and technical universities as well. This combined partnership enables to achieve synergies, because the classical universities bring a high-level theoretical knowledge and the technical universities bring close links to industry and to real technical problems to be solved. Expected results: improved teachers of hard sciences qualifications and skills in the area of computing; developed/improved modern master courses in the area of computing; developed modern teaching materials for the courses; implemented modern teaching methods in the developed study courses; ECTS in the developed courses and mechanisms for mutual recognition of the studies; disseminated the developed course and teaching materials to other universities; student mobility on new courses realized.

Among the actual members of the CEEPUS - Agriculture and environment in the 21 st century network there is an agreement about the further educational expansion of the cooperation. A possible way for developing the cooperation is to work out a draft proposal for joint program with the title: Sustainable agri-environment to protect soil and water resources. The expected changes in the world s climate and the growth of the population are a great challenge for all the participants of the agro-food industry. This problem is escalated by the limited access of land and water resources that for several times are degradated by different environmental impacts. Nowadays it is an evidence that bioenergetics besides its several positive effects is not necessarily efficient in sustainable use of the natural resources. With the aim to handle these problems an MSc joint programme is proposed the purpose of which is to educate experts who are able to develop and operate regional and global monitoring systems in the field of natural resources. For this purpose they gain professional knowledge in the use of GIS-Remote Sensing Decision Tools and they get the proper skills in applied natural sciences and engineering. We offer HydroGIS, applied remote sensing, water and soil management educational expert based knowledge and we are looking for partners in the following scientific area: civil engineering (watershed management and ground water hydrology, food management, water quality management (ecologist, ecotoxicologyst, chemist) land reclamation-remediation, landscape management.

Based on conceptual foundations of Geographic Information Science, SDIs today are a core requirement for managing not only technical services, but our entire societies and environment. Building upon undergraduate qualifications from a spatial and/or computational discipline, this program develops qualifications in spatial data acquisition, geospatial database management, distributed services architectures, geocomputation, spatial analysis and decision support, as well as communication and project management skill. From a labour market perspective, there is clearly a demand from all institutions having to comply with the European INSPIRE (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe) Directive on all levels. Beyond that, emerging SDIs offer a huge opportunity for leveraging their potentials across a broad range of industries, while few if any current geospatial graduate programs focus on the utilisation of infrastructurebased geospatial information in their respective domains. European HEIs have an opportunity to lead the world in advanced education due to the impact of INSPIRE, offering European as well as third country students excellent job prospects and a rapidly growing market with few dedicated academic education programs. Students will be required to study in at least two different countries, with English used as tuition language. In addition, European students will have the opportunity to study at third country associate universities worldwide. All students will complete their first year at the Univ. of Salzburg, then choosing from a specialisation in land management / surveying (Univ. of West Hungary) or remote sensing / planning (JU Krakow). The final master thesis can developed at any of these HEI, depending on the chosen topic and supervision capabilities. Integration of the study programme will be enhanced by attendance of an obligatory summer school integrated with focus semesters in Hungary and Poland, online live seminar presentations / discussions and active involvement with the annual GI_Forum symposium in Salzburg. In addition, measures like internship option (or elective study modules), e-portfolios and technical online training opportunities enhance graduate s employability. The EMSc GSDI is a truly international qualification receiving strong support from GIS industry. Graduates will lead the next generation of cloud-based, fully distributed and semantically enriched SDIs, which are indispensable for sustainable society, economy and environment.

17 PARTICIPANT HU 18 Ms Last Name Várhalmi First Name Zsuzsa Eötvös Loránd University Rector's Office International Relations Officer Address Szerb utca Town 1053 Budapest Country Hungary Telephone Computer Science Joint Projects Trustworthy Software is essential to the operation of modern society. We rely on software to provide our requirements for energy, transport, logistics, communication, information, entertainment and many other needs. Without high quality, high-reliability software, however, we would soon be unable to meet even basic needs. Traditional software development techniques are not, however, keeping pace either with the current rapid changes in hardware architecture or systems complexity. Functional programming, based on strong mathematical principles, is therefore gathering ground as a good way of programming such high-assurance, certifiable and especially multicore systems at relatively low programmer cost. Despite clear industrial and commercial demand for increased number of functional programmers and increasing interest in the student body, there is, as yet, no Masters-level programme in Trustworthy Functional Systems. This market niche will be addressed by Functional IT Master programme.

22 PARTICIPANT RS 1 Mr Last Name Ilic First Name Marko University of Nis Mechanical Engineering Faculty, Thermal Engineering Research Assistant Address Aleksandra Medvedeva 14 Town Nis Country Serbia Telephone marko.ilic@alumni.tum.de Thermal Engineering Mobility Programmes A person is educated if they constantly strive to attain knowledge while simultaneously recognizing that they know very little about the nature and a world around. Clearly, education is a constant pursuit, thus, I know that I am educated as long as I never give up attempting to understand the world around me. Moreover, this uncertainty must make the educated person have a mind open to new ideas and explanations. Our reality is that we live in world full of changes. And in that world every person students especially, have to be equipped with the right knowledge in order to success in whatever they are doing and to give the best respond on the problem. I saw an ECCE Mundus Seminars as a great opportunity to get direct insight and possibility to network in topics relating to students mobility around Europe, especially applicable in the field of energy efficiency of all kinds. My idea is strongly orientated to find possible solutions for our students who are studying energy sciences in Serbia to go abroad to developed University or Industry centers in this field to gain and exchange the knowledge. After come back we expect that their knowledge will be the driving force for new international projects and source of regional and wider development. Also idea is to create fast exchange way without many steps of application, which will be based on direct cooperation between University or Industrial centers.

Currently we already offer BA and MA programs in English so this simplifies adoption of such a double Master program. Furthermore among current partners we have numerous leading UA universities in area of InfoCom technologies which are interested in creating double degree Master program with EU partners. This year we've submitted Tempus project "Info communication Technologies Today and Tomorrow - Development of Sustainable Double Mater Degree for Ukraine (ITELL-U) which aimed to build up a double Master program between UA and EU universities. If this project will be selected for funding this year, it can be served like "umbrella" for extending collaboration between UA and EU universities and developing widely recognised Master's program in area of InfoCom technologies).

28 PARTICIPANT UA 2 Mr Last Name Ignatev First Name Stanislav V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University Center for International Cooperation Acting Director Address 4 Svobody Sq Town Kharkiv Country Ukraine Telephone department.int@gmail.com Information Technologies, Computer Science Joint Projects Human society today essentially grounds all its activity and progress on acquiring, processing, analyzing, effective and efficient use of information. A straightforward consequence is that Information Technologies (IT) penetrates all spheres of human activity. In fact, Computer Science graduates are well prepared for developing and deploying IT solutions but have at most a very limited expertise in the target domain. Hence, a substantial effort is required to ramp-up IT specialists for making the deployment and use of IT in that domain effective and efficient. On the contrary, the subject experts in a domain different to IT carry their domain knowledge and have required information at hand, but are limited in their capability to efficiently use IT for processing this information and making their knowledge effectively actionable. Therefore ramping-up professionals is required at both sides and is often organized in the form of additional courses. The outlined problem is recognized in Ukraine but is addressed without sufficient emphasis on improving IT proficiency. The National higher education programmes register contains a dedicated section of "Specific Categories" listing the programmes at the Master level that could be taken based on an essentially different Bachelor level qualification. However, the programmes from the list of Specific Categories do not explicitly mention IT proficiency as a key capability of the graduates. The general objective of the proposed project is bridging a gap between the qualifications, skills, and capabilities of the Bachelor level graduates and the requirements of their potential employers in the selected non-it subject domains by improving the graduates' IT proficiency. Knowledge Management and Business Intelligence have been chosen as one of the domains for the project because knowledge-based business analytics is the key asset for enterprises to be competitive, efficient, and successful in today's knowledge intensive sectors of economy. It is expected and proven by the recent tendencies that the demand for employing university graduates capable of collecting, engineering, managing enterprise knowledge and developing business intelligence systems based on this knowledge will be substantially increasing in the short-to-mid-term future. The same is true for State and Community administrations. Moreover, the demand for lifelong learning and personnel training will also be increasing. ITproficiency as opposed to IT literacy is essentially required for KMBI professionals as they have to effectively combine their deep domain knowledge with knowledge representation and intelligent software development skills.

We want to establish strong and fruitful program of training with foreign partners as we believe that sharing with ideas and combining experience can bring success both to our university and our partners. It is great the ECCE Mundus Seminar is divided into three categories. Each university may find appropriate partner in designated field. The main idea of our proposed project is to develop a network of European Academic Mobility Centers with emphasis on technical field. ENAMC is a network of academic centers in Central and Eastern Europe, the main objective of these centers is to promote, organize and actively implement one of the main components of the Bologna process, namely the academic mobility.
